Is this a laptop? If so, maybe the cable which goes through the hinge needs replacing. Is it ONLY in Linux?
All things go better with Mint. Mint julep, mint jelly, mint gum, candy mints, pillow mints, peppermint, chocolate mints, spearmint,....

I believe this is the result of changing some Login Window settings, as I have described here: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=257803

Doesn't look like a panel created section, unless you set it for translucent. Again I ask, is this a laptop?

If it is a desktop, cycle the power on the monitor.

Everyone seems to be assuming a hardware problem but you don't say if it only shows on the login screen or shows on the desktop also?
When I give opinions, they are my own. Not necessarily those of any other Linux Mint developer or the Linux Mint project as a whole.

Hi

Can you change the background picture. Probably thats the issue.

Are you using xorg or other?
